    CA CA - East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer *ARREST* #3

    From the same Wikipedia article: Despite physical analysis, and the unusual presence or use of hand lotions, no sign of "masturbation discharge" was detected at crime scenes. So hand lotion was present at the VR scenes? That was a major signature of later EAR crime scenes. I'm surprised that...

    Michelle McNamara's Last Book I'll Be Gone in the Dark/ Golden State Serial Killer

    Just bought McNamarra's book on Friday and finished reading it yesterday. It's been years since I picked up a book and couldn't put it down. That book kept me squarely rooted to the couch all Saturday and Sunday until I was finished. It is an amazing piece of work. Though the fact that it is...

    Unbelievable. The EAR committed his 47th attack on June 25 1979 in Walnut Creek. He was arrested for shoplifting on July 2 in Sacramento County. Then committed attack # 48 on July 5 in Danville. It's like the arrest didn't happen. He just kept going.

    I've had an almost identical experience. Was watching TV years ago and a program about the history of the Winnipeg Jets hockey team came on. They interviewed the Jets' first ever captain (1972-73 season I think). My dad casually mentioned, "That's your mother's first cousin." That was news to us...

    Heh. The guy on the right looks like the Zodiac composite from the Paul Stine murder. One could really let one's imagination run wild. EARONS and the Zodiac photos side by side in the Exeter Sun. :happydance: But the photo of Deagnelo looks like a dead ringer for the composite of the Visalia...

    I doubt if that commenter was him. Lots of JD's out there. However, there are plenty of photographs of that community meeting online. And I've wondered myself if he is any of those pictures. It seems a lock that he was at the meeting. The coincidence of him attacking that man's home are just...

    THIS. Exactly. We don't know much about Deangelo's wife of all those years, and I think it is totally offside to call her an "enabler" or whatever. Who knows what he put her through? Who knows how much control he exerted over her? Thanks for sharing your personal story.

    CA CA - East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer *ARREST* #2

    Shoplifting could have been another compulsion. Another behavioural trait that resulted from his defective personality. Or, it could have been related to his rapes, especially the dog spray. There are reports of him possibly having run-ins with dogs during his prowls. According to McNamarra's...

    CA CA - East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer *ARREST* #2

    And then there are some families who just don't care. I know virtually nothing about my parents' lives before I was born. Not every family is obsessed with geneology or family tree either. I have 3 siblings, and I can tell you for a fact that none of us has ever spent any time on ancestry.com or...

    CA CA - East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer *ARREST* #2

    Well, they fired him and he was convicted and paid a find and probation. So they definitely did more than bat an eye. Normally, you don't expect a police officer to have a history of serial rape and murder, even if he is busted for shop lifting. The cop in the Onion Field was also a compulsive...

    CA CA - East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer *ARREST* #2

    Major blanks that need filling: 1) What did he do for a living between his firing in 1979 and starting the warehouse job in 1990? 2) Where did he live during that time, especially 1980-86 during the ONS series? I believe the answers to those two questions will lead to a whole new heap of...

    Yep. If detailed and somewhat accurate (in retrospect) theories posted online were evidence of guilty knowledge, half of us who post here would be in jail now.

    CA CA - East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer *ARREST* #2

    Gotta agree with you there. Not sure I've ever Googled my parents. And if I did, I wouldn't expect to find anything that happened prior to 1990, let alone 1979. Plus, the 1979 firing and shoplifting conviction isn't likely something that Google would even hit on until his arrest last week. It's...

    CA CA - East Area Rapist/Golden State Killer *ARREST* #2

    He got more wrong than right. Deangelo was Navy, not Rangers or special forces. He did go to college and graduate. Way too many key details wrong to say that guy has "suspicious" knowledge. There are probably a lot more accurate profiles than that floating around online. Doesn't mean their...

    OH OH - Brian Shaffer, 27, Columbus, 1 April 2006 - #2

    That's entirely possible. Difficult to say without seeing the video. Maybe the video is conclusive and clear enough to leave no doubt. But, if they've based their conclusion on less-than-perfect video, it is at least possible that they misidentified someone else as Brian. There is the chance...

    NH NH - Maura Murray, 21, Haverhill, 9 Feb 2004 - #13

    There was no cigarette. The neighbour who thought she saw a cigarette glowing said that she realized it was a glowing red LED light from a celphone. There was no cellphone reception there so no way could Maura have reached AAA though she likely tried repeatedly.

    CANADA Canada - Randy Rankin, 46, Morewood, Ont, 12 Feb 2007

    This case has received very little coverage in recent years, and in fact I do not recall hearing much about it when it happened. Despite that, it apparently has been much talked about in the harness racing community in Ontario. Randy Rankin was a well-known children's entertainer who went by...

    IA IA - Jodi Huisentruit, 27, Mason City, 27 June 1995 - Anchorwoman

    Agreed in full. The fall-out after the disappearance could not have been easy for any of the coworkers. Having had a somewhat acrimonious relationship with Jodi would have made it even more difficult for Amy to process and deal with. It's especially disappointing to read the foolish comments...
